I heard he got into music business "behind the scenes", but a damn shame he couldn't parlay his and the other band members talent to a recording contract. It was well deserved. Great guy…

I have seen Craig Aulden..but never any other performers from the back fence. I loved going there from 70’s till closing such good times…thanks for the GREAT memories!!!

Coming into ny next week Sept 2016

First place was the back fence
..
Setting up plans, I saw this article 3 years later
..how devastating!!! I hope someone opens a similar venue as there was nothing like it
I wish I had heard about this before it closed..i ,must have been there in the last week prior to closing but didn’t know it…please someone reopen this great place!

You guys were absolutely the best…talent that deserved to be heard on the world stage!..remember many nights riding down with Joey B. in the Jeep just to hear you guys play…platinum covers of "Let it Ride", and "Don't Cry Blue", better than the originals…wish the band was still together, would love to hear you guys jam again. Can still hear that power solo that Rolls would lay down, followed by some wicked flute playing!.. If you're still performing, let us know, the years just fly by…

Mon, 30 May 2016 20:21:34 +0000http://thevillager.com/?p=13186#comment-90119I remember seeing Rolls and The Fresh Air Trio there many times. They were one of the best acts that played there. I still have a cassette somewhere of one of there shows. My favorite cover was Let It Ride! by BTO! Great fun! They had so many great acts that played there. Back Fence is sorely missed.

My wife and I dated there 2 or 3 Saturdays a month in the mind-1970s. Loved Fresh Air Trio, Franklin (Micare), Bob Horan, Wendy & Mike. Such a shame that the final night didn't happen.
